When do I need to cite?
Answer
In general, you should cite whenever you draw on or quote an outside source. This includes reuse of words, ideas, images, and statistics.
There are exceptions to this, which include:
- Personal Experiences
- Observations/Results obtained by You
- Artwork or Charts created by You
- Information that is classified as "Common Knowledge."
